What Made You Angry Today?

@goingonhope It sounds like you need a new therapist. You should not have to feel like that with someone you open up to. You do not and did not deserve it.

My wife, she's in a low carb diet and bit my head off for a simple mistake.

 

[KP the nut]

My head cold. I hate how it is making me feel.

 

[p-no]

How, when I get scared, my feelings take over and my mind goes poof.

That I can't make a decision whether to take a break from therapy or not. I want to, but I'm afraid to.

 

[Abstract]

That this won't go away. And that I struggle so much to take steps forward. Can't go forwards cant go backwards.

Can't you go there just to tell him how you feel before leaving? Just to practice self-assertiveness?

 

[p-no]

My own indecisiveness.
My therapist not listening properly.
Having to go look for another GP.
Having had the hope that if I came back to this very therapist, she would find me.

I'm angry with my therapist. He pushed me too far-despite the fact that I told him I was overwhelmed. I told him weeks ago..

But I'm mostly angry with my self for not being able to stand my ground more.

I had just decided to do this when I came upon your post.

Today I got mad at my husband (so mad I was shaking) because he shoved my Boomer out of the bedroom as I was walking down the hall. He is old and wobbly and was splayed out on the floor, meowing loudly. I came to him and quickly ascertained that about 4 inches of his tail was shut in the bedroom door. When I released him I told my husband to be more careful and was met with some bull shit about "how busy he was". Which made me even madder. I went livid and speechless, turned my heel and headed back out the door.

I was shaking and muttering to myself and when he came out he yelled at me, "It was an accident!!!" I told him, "I understand accidents and that's not what I'm mad about... it's the tone of your voice and ignoring the most immediate thing and being defensive. If I did that to a client because I was busy, I'd be charged with abuse or seriously hurt them."

I was though able to get myself together after some more muttering, like asshole, he's old, and you're a real jerk sometimes and I don't like you right now.

I'm over it and he changed his tune really fast. It's not what happens that upsets me, it's the denial or defensiveness... still with him sometimes.

That my son decided to sleep in instead of going to school. He's 17, almost 18, and I'm pretty frustrated. He knows that this makes me angry, yet he continues to do it. Even if he goes in for part the day, which is what he usually does, it frustrates me. How I long for the days when I could easily make him go to school!:banghead::grumpy:
